Luke Perry has been hospitalized after suffering a “massive stroke,” according to TMZ .
The outlet reveals that the Riverdale star is currently in the hospital receiving treatment after paramedics responded to a call from Luke Perry’s home on Wednesday morning.
First responders arrived at Perry’s home in Sherman Oaks, California, and the actor was quickly transported to the hospital. Currently, his condition is unknown.
Luke, 52, who is best known for his former role of Dylan Mckay on the ’90s teen drama Beverly Hills 90210, currently holds the role of Fred Andrews, father to Archie, on the CW’s hit teen series Riverdale .
Perry had reportedly been filming episodes of the series in L.A. on the Warner Bros. lot but was at home when the medical emergency hit.
Luke was hospitalized on the day that most of his former 90210 co-stars were announced to be starring in a reboot of the series for Fox. Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Brian Austin Green, Ian Ziering, and Gabrielle Carteris have all signed on for the upcoming summer series.
However, Perry and his former on-screen love interest, Shannen Doherty, were the only original cast members to not be confirmed to return to the series that made them famous.
